I do not know what exactly a DNS seed is, what exactly it is that I have to set up at the DNS-provider, in the zone-records of the domains I want to put DNS seeds into.

Once I have all those set up I can look into putting them into the code if our old caode even has DNS seed support in it.

(If it doesn't I can just find IP addresses to put into the last resort IP addresses list that is in the code.)

The DNS seed is meant to talk to a custom DDNS server that keeps a list of active live seen nodes, and sends them on request to the clients, picking 10 or so to send.   It is meant to replace the IRC peer finding.   

I already have put in the two valid hard coded seeds posted here so far into the code I am doing... so you can just pick that up.  Now if we can only actually chat on irc sometime like I have been trying to for the past few days... seems we just dont keep the same schedule.
